Because for years our country is so badly Run,, it relies on Immigration and cashed-up students that pay for courses, 8000 per visa ! Plus course fees of say 20 or 30k each x 100,000 is why .. Lots of Money in immigration and we have no industries anymore .. Australia became reliant on foreigners years ago to keep us afloat . It generates billions! It's so bad now there is no way to turn the clock back with No industries and our homemade brands have all been sold off years ago to foreigners,, Everything from victa mowers to Holdens went to China,
So now we have thousands of Men with no jobs or future , Just have a look around your neighbourhood at how many men are either jobless or driving around with a mower in a ute making Dimes !!
There will be thousands condemned to living on the Dole for life with no way out , Particularly the older folks and the kids with no experiences ..
The Lucky Country is China ! They got our Business !!

I'm very glad that I'm at this end of my working life.
I'd hate to be starting a career now.
